Pictures from Gaza, Yerucham and Bahad-1 [pics]
Here you are, Pictures from my last 2 weeks at the mekina/Negev Desert-
Including pics of the "devastated" West bank, the officer training school Bahad-1 (I checked, the pics are legal and not classified) [where we toured and prepared for our midnight navigation ], and the economically ruined welfare city of Yerucham.
The West bank (From our day in the settlers town of Sederot)
A picture of the West bank/Gaza from a distance
The lego-block esque building is a synagogue
Walking with our Colonel guide, and some of the in-base training grounds.
And
The Courtyard, where graduations are made and flags are raised.
The poverty stricken city of Yerucham:
The playground of the place. (The girl's from Canada, she volunteered to go to the service year here with us)
Swinging at me - BAM!
Getting ready for the all-nighter. (We didn't sleep the whole night)
Back we go.
The red hills at sunbreak.
Invasion of the concrete phone holder booths!

I suspect Gaza and that it's just Death being Death. The west bank is far hillier.Kettch wrote:?A picture of the West bank/Gaza from a distance
Which is it? West Bank or Gaza? Thay are not the same place, one is on the west & south coast (Gaza) & the other to the east & north of the Negev. If that shot is of both, please explain because I'm, confused.

Which part is beautiful?Sarevok wrote:Nice country to live in. Beautiful landscape and people too. :d Too bad they wont let me in. Stupid conflict between muslims and jews !
The first 2 pics are Gaza, aka one of the poorest and densest places on Earth, and it's controlled by the Hamas.
The later pics are a school for officers, with the ropes being for training between meals.
The last ones are from Yerucham, a poor city with a large youth problem, unemployment issues (little work inside, and few people working) and large amounts of minorities, and where the majority of it's income is welfare or trust fund based (To the point where we were told about a student who bought a car with trust funds).
Also it shouldn't be hard for you to come here if you can speak English/Hebrew and have a skilled profession. (It's harder these days due to problems with large amounts of illegal foreign workers from Vietnam and the Philippines, and deportion issues stemming from that).

The landscape in general is beautiful. I like the deserts or the mountainous terrain that seem common in Israel. Here it is boring tropical forests if you leave city limits and head for countryside.Which part is beautiful?
A page from my passport.Also it shouldn't be hard for you to come here if you can speak English/Hebrew and have a skilled profession. (It's harder these days due to problems with large amounts of illegal foreign workers from Vietnam and the Philippines, and deportion issues stemming from that).
Since I am in a muslim country there is no chance of travelling to Israel till muslims and jews solve hostilities and muslim countries start recognising Israel. Israel is an awesome country. I wish I could visit someday. Sadly that seems impossible in the forseeable future.
I have to tell you something everything I wrote above is a lie.

Since they say Isreal is a country that does not recognise your passport is that not an indirect admission that Isreal is in fact a country?Sarevok wrote: A page from my passport.

Pretty much.Never trust the Muslim nations not to be hypocrites
It's a bit odd that an indian passport doesn't allow Israel, Pakistan I can understand, but India .
Thats the South (For desert) and north for wet mountains.I like the deserts or the mountainous terrain that seem common in Israel
